This quartet is a creative combination of the Ukrainian Carol (Carol of the Bells) and the 15th century plainsong Greensleeves (What Child is This?) by superimposing them polyphonically.
The result is an interesting combination of pleasant dissonances and beautiful resolutions. It will please performers and audiences alike.
The parts are simple to play and the ensemble fits together easily. This flute arrangement is slightly different from the clarinet version, also available on ScoreVivo.com.
